This helps it to settle into the proper position before taking it up to full pressure.kiefmoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17287748736341270496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-21007818822455784712009-12-07T22:10:33.547-08:002009-12-07T22:10:33.547-08:00I used to sell things, deliver things, design thin...I used to sell things, deliver things, design things, make things to earn money.

Especially during holidays.

You can make it happen if you so choose. Maybe I&#39;m blowing smoke, but if you really miss your family that much than you should be with them for the holidays. <br /><br />That&#39;s one of the things that has always kept me here in MN. Not wanting to be far from family especially my parents and especially now that they are both in the autumns of their lives. I just don&#39;t want to be that far off. <br /><br />Hang in there and make the best of your rides, and everything else life in Juneau and in general has to offer.<br /><br />On a lighter note...Black Friday for me was a quick trip to REI for a new headlamp, balaclava, and thermos:)<br /><br />Now, I&#39;m patiently waiting for parts to arrive for the new Pugs.Vitohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01277306434031774094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-20089518255344295902009-11-28T06:00:56.718-08:002009-11-28T06:00:56.718-08:00Hi Jill.

I&#39;ve had the same tire problems many times but thanks to a great &quot;Zin&quot; book on bike maintenace, I can actually deal with bike emergencies. Was supposed to go to Colorodo to get certified as a mechanic, but was too screwed up to go. Went for a ride last night to the grocery store, my first ride with a headlamp. My back blinking light broke, but luckily the headlamp had a red light as well. Spent most of my time on the suburban sidewalks and unexpect curbs (didn&#39;t fall though!).
